Nashik IT Firm Sexual Harassment Case: HR Official Arrested, SIT Probes Multiple Allegations A special investigation team (SIT) is examining a series of sexual harassment allegations against employees of a multinational IT company in Nashik, Maharashtra. The probe has uncovered multiple incidents spanning from 2022 to 2026, with victims reportedly subjected to forced religious practices, dietary restrictions, and sexual misconduct. The case has sparked widespread concern over workplace safety and corporate accountability, prompting authorities to take legal action against key personnel. The SIT, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime) Sandeep Mitke, has arrested an HR official for allegedly abetting sexual harassment by failing to address complaints raised by female employees. The HR manager was remanded in police custody until April 13, while six other accused individuals were sent to 14-day judicial custody. Mitke stated that further arrests are expected, as the team seeks production warrants to secure custody of additional suspects. One accused individual remains at large, with authorities actively tracking their whereabouts using surveillance and intelligence inputs. Nine FIRs have been registered since March 26, 2026, covering allegations of sexual harassment, breach of marriage promises, and offenses against religious sentiments. Investigators claim the HR official’s inaction allowed perpetrators to continue their misconduct, with Assistant Public Prosecutor Aniket Avhad stating that the lack of intervention “encouraged the accused to indulge in sexual harassment of the victims.#nashik #multinational_it_company #assistant_commissioner_of_police_sandeep_mitke #district_collector_ayush_prasad #chief_minister_devendra_fadnavis
